kev_147 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Is there any way at all that I am able to either pin items to the start menu or place them in a custom quick launch bar.What I want to do is install windows with a UA cd.install apps using wpi.run script/command/registry tweak that will put relavant shortcuts into pinned start menu or custom quick launch, but must apply to all users.Has anyone managed to do this?I have been reading for hours and still aint no further forward, am nearly at the point where i am thinking that this can't be done. (and that aint normally m guys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmokingman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 This is a script to pin something to the start menuDim Act, objPin, PinItem, Shell, SysRoot Set Shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") SysRoot = Act.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SystemRoot%\System32\") Set PinItem = Shell.Namespace(SysRoot) Set objPin = PinItem.ParseName("calc.exe") objPin.InvokeVerb("P&in to Start Menu") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev_147 Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks GSH. It was really starting to bug me.One question though. Will that apply to all users or just the logged on user.If it only applies to the logged on user, is there a way to get it to apply to the default user?

gunsmokingman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think it applies to the current user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 The pinned Start menu items seem to be recorded here under Favorites in particular:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPageSo it might be possible to apply this to all users. I haven't tried it because that's not what I want to do myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyretard Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Setup the Quick Launch on your current system, then copy C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch to %OEM%\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev_147 Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 That was an alternative to pinning the items to the start menu, but how can I enable the quick launch toolbar on all users or default user? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyretard Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) I don't remember where I got this addon or I would give credit. It will enable quick launch during setup for all users.Addon_QLDEF_dgelwin.cab Edited December 28, 2006 by skippyretard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
